The CfP for our DN34 International Conference on #Discourse, #Identity and #Polarisation is now open. It will be held 10–12 November 2026 at #Vilnius University and online. The call for papers and panel proposals is open until 15 May 2026. This conference provides an interdisciplinary space for examining how individual and group identities are discursively constructed in today’s increasingly polarised societies, and how discourse both reflects and shapes emerging social divisions.
